In pictures: Christmas in July at Sacred Heart

The Great Hall of Sacred Heart Cultural Center was decked Thursday for Christmas in July.

Vendors sold an array of items – some holiday-related and some not – while a summery Santa posed for photos.

There were Christmas-themed crafts and a raffle. Bill Karp sang sounds of the season, and two food truck outside the historic building provided the eats.

Executive director Millie Huff said the event, which is a fundraiser for Sacred Heart, went well.
